Just checking in...
For some unknown reason my ISP at home is NOT letting me into 3 Fat Chicks - that's why I haven't been here as much lately
I can get anywhere else on the 'Net just fine. SO annoying...but I've let Suzanne know and hopefully she can 'figger out' what's happening.
Was I the *only* person who didn't watch the Oscars last night? Since I go to bed so early, I don't see the point in getting all wrapped up in a 3-plus hour awards show. Besides, we only saw three movies last year, and I can safely say only one was nominated for anything (
Seabiscuit) - I doubt that
Disney's Haunted Mansion was Oscar-worthy
(hey Jim wanted to see it so there!) The other film we saw
A Mighty Wind was hilarious but I just didn't see it getting onto the Oscar-radar.
We had THE WORST storms last week - on Wednesday night at around 10:30, little miss Chubby Girl (i.e. kitty Megan) started meeeoowwing out of sheer terror when the lightning started and woke us other three people (Jim, Chalupa Boy, and yours truly) up. Then the hail started...and she made a dive for under the bed! Obviously she thought it was a giant vacumn cleaner coming to eat her up...Saturday was much better though.
This weekend I got a wild hair and dashed off to the mall to get some new clothes. A Chico's had just opened in our mall recently and I wanted to check it out - unfortunately nothing there rang my bell
all those huge prints and blousy clothes just reminded me of my old fat days shopping at Lane Bryant. I MUCH prefer a more slim 'tailored' look. So I toddled off to Nordstrom and splurged on a City DKNY skirt and top, then went to the Limited and OH they had this great shirt sale - they have the PERFECT shirt for me right now - with a tight bodice and lots of room in the boob department. (I don't know if it's just ME or my boobs are getting bigger...not Anna Nicole Smith bigger, but bigger...or maybe they just SEEM bigger now that my tummy is flat...) Bought a couple of those shirts in different colors. (BTW I just got my tax refund so felt like splurging a bit - besides I NEEDED new stuff, believe me...)
Swimsuits - Jim and I haven't made any plans for vacations or getaways this coming summer so I hadn't even thought of that. I kind of prefer to wear surf shorts and sport tops rather than suits these days...just more comfy for me. We might go to Yosemite for a weekend but I haven't even made reservations yet! Ai yiyi.
As far as the cooking question - a lot of times when I do cook, Jim eats pretty much the same as I do - I'll put some extra rice or what have you on the side. I admit to not cooking a whole lot lately, mostly because after work I tend to spend a lot of time at the stables with lessons after work...and I tend to eat the same things all the time - I call them my 'staples'.
Breakfast - oatmeal with some flaxmeal, scrambled eggwhites
mid-morning - Myo Lite shake
Lunch - chicken breast sandwich on whole grain bread or sometimes I bring something from home...the salad bar at work is AWFUL.
mid-day - unfortunately most of the time I tend to forget this one! I'd probably have another Myo Lite - problem is that I can't get any ice after 2 pm since the cafeteria closes then. Besides, I'm not hungry and I'm generally in the middle of some project or other...
Dinner - if I don't cook - I promised Jim I'd be making salmon today - I generally go to Draeger's and make a huge salad from their bountiful salad bar and top it with my own grilled chicken breast and some of my own dressing...
So there ya have it...
Hope everyone has a great day! Gotta go downstairs and snag me some ice and refill my water bottles...
